Bryson DeChambeau: My family inspired 2025 Open Championship turnaround | Golf Channel

What a day he had today!

What a heck of a recovery!!!! I’m ready to see what the new ball he’s talking about will do for his game!!!

The Rollback Is a Step Backward for Golf
and
We Do Not Need to Lengthen Courses

Let’s talk about the viewer experience — the customer experience — because that’s what’s being forgotten in this rollback discussion.

Fans watching from home want excitement. They want to see records threatened and broken. They want to witness the impossible become reality. A round of 58, 57, maybe even 54 one day — that’s what makes people talk, share, and fall in love with the game.

Instead, the powers that be are trying to stop progress. But why?

We’re being told that courses are too short, that players are hitting the ball too far, and that we need to “protect the game.”

But the truth is, you are forgetting about the game from a spectator’s point of view, and the wow factor many other sports have. When players are on and pull the driver out on a gettable par 4, the crowd are audible with excitement — it's how golf becomes electrifying.
And when they don't get on the green, they’re often in trouble — even if they can drive a par 4 now and then.
That unpredictability is part of the show. It's what fans tune in to see.

Here’s the reality:

Nobody’s asking for shorter drives.

Nobody’s excited about watching fewer eagles or seeing par 4s turn back into boring lay-ups.

Fans aren’t sitting at home thinking, “I wish this game were a bit more like it was in 1982.”

Golf should be allowed to evolve, just like every other sport.

Technology has moved forward, but within strict limits — like the 1.5 smash factor cap on drivers.
Players still have to execute.
Equipment doesn’t make champions — skill, discipline, and hard work do.

If someone shoots a 58, 57, 56, 55 — and hopefully in my lifetime, a 54 — on a par 72 course, that should be celebrated, not feared and restricted.
That’s what sport is all about. Why are we trying to stop it?

Rolling back the golf ball just to maintain a mythical scoring status quo is not only unnecessary — it’s backwards.

We don’t need to shorten the game or lengthen the courses.
We just need to let the game unfold naturally, letting players push boundaries and letting fans enjoy the ride.

So again, I ask:
Who is this rollback for?

Because it certainly isn’t the people watching.

Great fighter
